To all of Jeffrey's facebook friends, Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. They don't go unnoticed. He is currently still in a drug induced coma at Pitt Memorial Hospital, so he isn't the one checking or seeing this, but he will event...ually so keep his comments coming.

Sitting here, early AM. Jeff just went to work. I'll take off for the hospital in a little while. Boy it's been a long weekend, and we are only 2 day's into this thing. I just want to thank each and everyone of you for EVERYTHING! I can't even begin right now, naming off individual people with Thanks for the things you have done for our family, but know that NO act has gone unnoticed. Because individual people has became MANY, as is PRAYERS are many. Our God is a Mighty God, and I KNOW without a shadow of a doubt that HE is in control, from the beginning, to the end. He brought Jeffrey to this, and he will absolutely take him through it.

I am, and alway's have been a "writer" of my feelings. It's easier to convey things through words on paper, than through my mouth. I may not get all of my grammatical stuff right, but I think I get the point across. Boy modern technology has taken us to a level of convenience that sometimes I think, what did we do before the internet and cell phones. Facebook in and of itself has been an AWESOME tool of "virtual reunions" constantly. I mean, it's not that we all don't Love each other, but it's hard sometimes to just take time out of a day, and call each of our loved ones and friends and even have a two minute chat. This is a constant way to keep up. I know what some friends and family are doing now, that I haven't spoken to in years.

When I have more time, I'm gonna sit down and write the many events that have happened in the last couple of day's, that have become more and more apparent that God was Jeffrey's PILOT that night. He wasn't his Co-pilot, he was DRIVING!! ... See More

While I sat here and typed this message, the phone rang. It was Pitt Memorial on the Caller ID. My heart sank. For heavens sake it's 6:30 in the morning, I'm up, on the computer (for really no reason, I should of still been in the bed for another hour) and I realized I had forgot to put the phone by the bed last night, it was on the hook. So, IF I had of been asleep, I WOULD NOT have heard it. One more God thing....

Aaron, his nurse for the night said that during the night Jeffrey's oxygen saturation dropped so they took him to CT to see if he had a pulmonary embolism, which was something that would be related to "fixing his leg" yesterday. That procedure can actually cause about 3 different types of embolisms. So, anyway, that was negative. His lung sounds had deminished some on the left hand side, so they have inserted a chest tube on that side. His ozygenation saturation is better now, and they have also
increased his ventilator some. I really don't know what all of this means right this second, but as I find out I'll post.

I hope I don't bore anyone too much, but this is a way for me to "let everyone know how he's doing all at once." Please don't think I am ignoring phone calls at home, cause I probably am not at home. Please don't think I am ignoring replying to status' on here, because I see everyone of them. It's just impossible to acknowledge each and everyone currently. And please don't think I'm ignoring a "chat" request, if I don't reply, it's hard to carry on 3 conversations at once. I LOVE each and everyone of you, and thank God for friends and family such as yourself. You ALL are appreciated in ANY act of Kindness you show, no matter how small.

PRAYER!! Keep it coming. I know without a shadow of a doubt he is in the healing business, and Jeffrey's got his coming.

I love you all, and I'll keep you posted.
